A Letter from the President
Greetings Greater Cincinnati Penn State Alumni, supporters and local chapter members!
As you know, 2020 has given all of us more than our share of challenges, cancellations, disruptions and disappointments. I describe it as living in the Twilight Zone!
Our local Penn State Chapter has its own set of challenges. We have had to cancel our much anticipated Annual Dinner (with the Creamery speaker bringing us ice cream!) and our Family Picnic, also serving as our Send off for 9 local area students who will be freshmen at Penn State this fall. Instead of an in person picnic/send off, we plan to host a virtual send off in the near future which will be open to all interested local chapter members. (Watch for information on this event)
We hope to resume our football watch parties this fall at Fox & Hound (if there is a football season, stay tuned for updates)
We still plan to host our annual Holiday Party on the east side this year, continuing our rotation around the city every 2 years (assuming we are in the clear to host, based on restrictions due to Covid 19).
We hope to continue our support of THON, and local charities, Happy Hours, as well as funding 2, $500 scholarships for local freshmen attending Penn State.
To do all this, we need your support! The new fiscal year began on July 1st, and we are behind in our numbers of renewing member households. Renew or join TODAY so we can continue to be recognized as a Chapter of Distinction, Laurel Level, of the Penn State Alumni Association.

Thanks in advance for your loyal support! WE ARE….PENN STATE!!
Respectfully,
Kathy Overstreet

Every Hour Makes a Difference
Volunteering at Matthew 25 can be a great team-building activity, and is also very family friendly. A morning or afternoon’s work will typically produce enough finished materials to help hundreds of people in need in the U.S. and around the world.
